Dead Man Walking

shh
a storm's coming

oh, the sky turns gray
dark as his heart
the immortal ones just wonder
how he ever got this far
oh, a wind blows in
cold as his soul
the immortal ones just pray
for whom his bell tolls

he walks
with his head covered
and his face toward the ground
he speaks not his name
from where he came
who he seeks
or who he's found

and we look up to the sky
with a prayer asking why
and we are only answered with goodbye
singing


oh, the sky turns gray
dark as his heart
the immortal ones just wonder
how he ever got this far
oh, a wind blows in
cold as his soul
the immortal ones just pray
for whom his bell tolls

he walks
so slow
no one knows how he goes unseen
the storm follows him
a shepherd and his sheep

and we look up to the sky
with a prayer asking why
and we are only answered with goodbye
singing


oh, the sky turns gray
dark as his heart
the immortal ones just wonder
how he ever got this far
oh, a wind blows in
cold as his soul
the immortal ones just pray
for whom his bell tolls

shh
a storm's coming
a storm's coming
a storm's coming
coming for me and you

and we look up to the sky
with a prayer asking why
and we are only answered with goodbye
singing


oh, the sky turns gray
dark as his heart
the immortal ones just wonder
how he ever got this far
oh, a wind blows in
cold as his soul
the immortal ones just pray
for whom his bell tolls
